Stopping Cancer Builds in PVP

We have all seen them. The unkillable perma blocking tank. One simple way to help mitigate this would be to not allow block casting. If you are blocking you cant do anything else.

    that would make no difference at all really though as they would just stop blocking for a split second to use an attack then block again.

    also this whole game is set for "cancer builds", the only way to stop them is to completely change the way armour set bonuses and the CP system work but ZOS would never do that plus if they did people would realize they aren't as skilled as they thought they were and probably leave the game.

    You're seriously complaining about tanks? There's like 10 of them total per server. Here is how you stop them, hit the guy behind the tank.

    I really would like to see the word "Cancer" removed from people's vocabulary when describing anything other than the actual serious illness.

    Sorry to be a party pooper but I genuinely think the term can be considered offensive :/

    Problem is, if nothing is done, after the new release there will only be 2 classes of player in PVP

    1: The Unkillable tank, with tava and bloodspawn will be able to perm keep up the s&b ult 24x7

    2: The 2H Stam NB oneshotting anything that move with its Ult and instantly having ult back for the next oneshot

    This isn't a great place to be and PVP will die. Maybe this is ZOS's plan as they don't seam to give any love to the PVP player.

    They are ineffective anyway, because cancer kills to slow to earn AP. Better stick to that ebola or pneumonic plague builds :)

    People really need to stop using the word cancer/cancerous type of words... we know it's a *** build (Insert build here) but to those whoever use that 'cancerous/cancer' word literally need to sort themselves out.. it's lame and doesn't really make much sense.. OH MY GOD THIS CANCER BUILD... OMG THIS CANCER ATTACK... GODDAMNIT CANCER CRAP HITTING US AGAIN... WHERE IS THIS CANCEROUS SEXTON! ... whoever thought of that must be a real *** who likes to throw the word cancer around a lot and doesn't really know much about it... not a word to use lightly...

    It's not being offended or anything, majority say it on here... probably 90% of them just sheeple others who are addicted to this word.. whatever the person may define it end of the day.. we all look at it as an illness... and it's just cringey when someone mentions it...

    Yes... and if you read what I wrote you would've known I already explained it... but don't worry I made it bold for you my simpleton buddy! Life is a challenge I know, that is why I am here :)

    But tbh since ESO if I'm not wrong requires you to be 18? and they pretty much blocked out all the words to describe something as sh!t, I'm guessing the word 'cancer' fills in the gap.

    Maybe people should just stop being offended at every little thing anyone says.

    I held my mother's hand as she passed from this world to the next from lymphoblastic lieukemia. Maybe people should start exercising some emphathy and common sense when opening their mouths online or in real life and realize that the world extends well beyond their carefully groomed sardonic indifference.

    It's always a joke at someone else's expense until it happens to you. And I'm all for tasteless humor myself--there's few things that I won't poke fun at. But the prevalence of the term in reference to something as lighthearted as video games is almost sociopathically dissonant.

    I'm so sorry :( I watched my grandfather pass in a decrepit hospital bed unable to speak. He was my world. There was nothing I could say to someone who meant so much. We just waved goodbye.

    I've been raising money for Cancer Research for the longest time. Last year I played ESO for 24 hours straight to help Macmillan Cancer Support - it's an awful illness and having a charity there who understands and helps people is vital. They really deserve love :smile:

    It's not just a little thing though is it. Cancer is a serious condition that affects 1 in 3 people in this thread alone, it's not some players you can't kill in a video game. I don't even know how you can compare the two, it's childish, ignorant, it's ****ing disgusting tbh.
